Here’s a recent video news story to share with your friends and family about vitamin D deficiency. A few quotes from the video:

“Half of the nations adolescents are vitamin D deficient”

“It’s estimated that a billion people worldwide have Vitamin-D deficiency.”

And one patient pleads….”Please get your vitamin D level checked”

FYI - It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s more than 1 billion people who are deficient worldwide. When you figure about 90% (or 5.4 billion) of the world population lives in the northern hemisphere (north of the equator) - 1 billion seems low.
